Update: This project was dead, but it's back! Unfortunately my daytime job keeps me somewhat busy, so don't expect the project to emerge in a couple of years.
Saya is a programming project aimed to create a cross-platform, versatile, extensible Nonlinear video editor with features available in commercial editors like Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas or Edius Pro. The project was started in June, 2008, died in 2009 and was revived in October 2010.

Project stalled for reasons beyond our control

Bad news. With my bad luck in finding a job, the current flu epidemic and having to deal with an unexpected depression (mostly based on my economic situation), I can't keep working on Saya until I get my life back.

So the project is stalled and the meetings are suspended until further notice (which I hope will be in a couple of months in the best case).

Thanks for the support guys. I think today was the worst day of the depression, but I finally began to feel better. But I'm extremely tired. It's amazing how a few minutes of stress can knock you out for an entire day.

Thankfully, the worst part is over. I rewrote my resume, lowered my income expectations, and already got a new call with a job offer.

And I watched the new Haruhi episode, which lightened me up :)

In any case, I'm completely exhausted. Tomorrow I'll start training with new technologies (I'm going to do some PERL and JQuery examples). Maybe next week I'll be able to find a job.
